Look here at the effect that takes place, and see how I have pulled something apart from the white—something brown; and I have no doubt, if I were to arrange it thus, and were to put one of the poles to the tinfoil on the other side of the paper—why, I get such a beautiful action upon the paper, that I am going to see whether I cannot write with it—a telegram, if you please.発音を聞く 例文帳に追加

起きている結果を見てくださいよ。下の白いものから、何かを分解して茶色いものを取り出してるんですな！　じゃあこれもまちがいないはず：こんなふうにして、電極の片っぽを紙の裏のブリキにつけて――おお、なんとも見事に紙に反応が出てくるじゃないですか。字も書けちゃえそうですね、やってみましょう――いわば電報、ですかな 。 - Michael Faraday『ロウソクの科学』

Another point that I would like to make is closer to home. In my opinion, it is critical for a politician to have a bird's eye and an insect's eye – both of these. Having been a politician for 25 years, I feel that it is imperative that politics in a democratic nation have an insect's eye to really look at things up close. I might get a disapproving look if I use the expression "an insect's eye" in this context but, right after the Amended Money Lending Business Act came into full force, we established the Amended Money Lending Business Act Follow-Up Team, which was in all likelihood an unprecedented move since the Meiji era. While 15 million people use services of the money lending industry, we enacted, with unanimous support, a law designed to prevent multiple debtors from being generated. As the level of per-household income dropped by one million yen amid deflation notably in the past ten years, we hear, and really hear, suffering voices and sighs of people in various forms of livelihood hardships attributable to those difficult times.発音を聞く 例文帳に追加

それからもう1点は身近な話でございますけれども、私は政治家というのは鳥の目と虫の目が大事だと思っております。両方です。やはり本当に身近な虫の目もないと、民主主義国家において政治は駄目だと、私は25年させていただいて、そう思っておりまして。「虫の目」と言ったらおしかりいただくかもしれませんけれども、やはり改正貸金業法の（完全施行）後、こんなことは明治以来、多分、例がないと思うのですが、施行したすぐ後に改正貸金業法フォローアップチームを作りました。これは1,500万人の方が貸金業を利用しておられる中で、全会一致で多重債務者を防ごうという法律を作ったわけでございます。特にこの10年間、デフレの中で1世帯当たり100万円、所得が減ったわけでございますから、そういった時代において、現実に色々な一人一人の生活の本当にうめき声やため息が聞こえてくるわけでございます。 - 金融庁
